The Final Day

Everyone up early. Lucy made sure she got in her last swim. Packing, grazing on leftover strada and toast. Pictures around the table one last time and off they go. The 'Fresh Air Fund" packed to the hilt in the rental car. Carol, as usual, protesting that she doesn't want to go to the airport that early and everyone else moving her along. We saw them off, all a little teary. We wait for the visit all year long with anticipation and in a blink it's over. Oh well, look on the bright side, only 360 days until the Austinas Locas blow into Austin again. I better start thinking of that drink of the day!
